| - One of my favorite places in Montreal. Totally off the beaten path, Pica Pica requires a walk or even a drive, depending on your location.
Once you walk in, you will be greeted by friendly staff. Usually they are booked out, so reservation is a very-nice-to-have. If you come in summer, totally grab one of the tables on their fabulous terrace. It is awesome, sunny, chill, and in itself is a reason to hit Pica Pica up.
Let's get back to the review:
ATMOSPHERE: Super friendly, non-pretentious, non-judgemental, chill, welcoming. Staff is always friendly and smiling. The owner is there 80% of the time, so you are VERY likely to be served, chatted up, or just observed by the guy who owns the place. Great service guaranteed.
FOOD: Food is insane. I've been to 4-5 other tapas bars in Montreal and trust me, hands down, Pica Pica beats them all. Just try their California dates, spicy shrimp, pulled pork, baby pork ribs and I'm sure you will log on on yelp and write a compliment to this review.
DRINKS: Wine selection is not big, however it has some rare bottles on it. Cocktails are what the place is known for. Their mojitos are simply awesome. Oh and ask the owner to make you an espresso his own special way ;)
That pretty much sums it up. A must-visit place for any Montreal or visiting foodie. You won't regret.
